'''''Everything from here on is based on a playthrough of Ursula's story'''''

*When Ursula and Urlan level up for the first time, unlock Combo Attack 2. This will make them very powerful for much of Nordagh.
*Recruiting Jeanne the Gungnir in Fliuch is recommended as your school's first recruit.
*As soon as Ursula gets to level 3, go to Vargen and complete the Trial of the Elders league. The last battle in this league will be much easier than if it was done at a later level. This will unlock Iaar the Yeti. He's very powerful at this point since he's the only heavy unit you can recruit in Nordagh.
*Kingdom Open in Orin's Keep must be completed in order to complete enough leagues in Roanor.
*It is recommended (or maybe even necessary) to complete Circle of Elites Qualifier in Roanor, as it opens up the Circle of Elites Tier 1 leagues in other towns.

This seems like a pretty logical route to take, but it would be excellent if Trial of the Elders in Vargen could be done without doing any unnecessary battles, but you need all your gladiators at level 3 in order to complete it, and Ursula and Jeanne are only level 2 at this point. So some extra battles may have to be done, or a different route must be taken.

'''''Some things that need to be done:'''''
*A route of battles and leagues.
*An analysis of which classes can unlock Awareness and at what level the AI unlocks it.
*A route that incorporates buying the best equipment from shops. (Not all shops in a region contain the best equipment)
*Specific strategies for some of the more complex/unpredictable battles (Ex: Orus's tournament, battles with multiple teams, Berzerkers, etc.)
*More information on which units are best for speedrunning.
*Data on specific attacks and how much damage they do, along with how it compares to specific classes stats.

 '''''Imperia'''''
-''Belfort''
+''Route not planned yet.''
-*Go to the shop
-**For Ursula, buy Claw Hammer and Hoplite
+*In Belfort, you must complete a league in order to leave. Ideally, you would go for Best of Belfort since it's a required badge and gives you enough cups for the tournament, but you need 15% popularity. More work needs to go into battles that increase popularity fast. Once a league is completed, you will be forced to leave Belfort, so you will need to come back to beat the tournament.
-**For Jeanne and Lowry, buy Fuscina of any Affinity
+*Samnites and Centurions are obviously good choices for recruits, but they don't have any Combo Attacks at least at level 5. They still do decent damage, but it will take a while for them to actually be very useful.
-*Talisman Challenge
+*Unlocking the Minotaur in Cro Beska is certainly a good idea in non-speedrun gameplay, but whether or not it would save time in a speedrun is not known. You have to go quite a bit out of your way to unlock him, including beating the league to receive the quest and waiting 7 days after being assigned the quest. Still, he is incredibly powerful, but it's unknown if the time he saves throughout the rest of the game will make up for the time spent unlocking him.
-**Talisman of Imperia (Everyone)
+*Recruiting a Secutor is a good idea, since they do massive damage with Surprise Attack from behind. Their usefulness slowly diminishes as time goes on since opponents will start acquiring Awareness, but they will still speed up the game in the beginning.

 This seems to work well so far. Recruiting 2 Gungnirs works great in Nordagh. It also allows for entry into more battles than if you just recruited one, and only had 3 gladiators. This lets you build up more experience and obtain level 3 for three gladiators, letting you complete Trial of the Elders and unlock Iaar. The specifics for each battle need to be worked out, along with which units are best for them both specific to each battle and in the long run.
